Review on ๐Ÿ“ผ Enhanced DVD Recorder with TV Tuner: Lite-On LVW-5115GHC+ by Terrance Fisher

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great for burning but has a few downsides

First, the 5115 burns discs that once finished are playable on my Toshiba and Sony DVD players as well as my PC. There are no compatibility issues. The recording process is very easy if you use the "Guiderโ€ or "Timerโ€ menu to set it up. Setting up recording sessions takes just a few seconds. No logger errors have occurred so far. In addition, the control panel is beautifully designed. But there are a few downsides. Firstly, the playback quality of a self-burned DVD is almost unsatisfactory compared to playback on another player. So I use another player to play the discs - it also prolongs the life of the laser. Secondly, cable stereo channels are only recorded in mono via "cable TVโ€ for some reason. When the player is on, a blue LED lights up the small room - white light helps to tone down the brightness. And most playback functions such as zoom, repeat and angle can be accessed with just one button on the remote control. They plan to use it primarily as a player.

Pros
  • Finally bought it
Cons
  • Some downsides
